The Holy Scriptures can serve as evidence. The only question is for what are they evidence. That's like saying the Doppler effect is the claim not the proof. Repeating ignorant aphorisms just makes you sound even more ignorant.
You Christians see your bible as evidence but the rest of the world does not. You claim it is the holy word of god, great happy for you, care to present me with the evidence that it is? Then we'll talk.
Since you lack the mental capacity to see beyond your own Christophobia, I must demonstrate to you your lack of imagination. The bible could be evidence for any of the following:
The existence of the Q gospel.
Political structure of the Roman empire.
Confirming the location of various historical sites.
The role of slavery in ancient Hebrew society.
Etc., etc.
As you can see the biblical texts can serve as evidence supporting a wide range of theories, both religious AND secular.
I will now accept your admission of guilt for mindlessly parroting the stupidity of others.
